DH. No question. Oh, and you're right and he's so totally wrong about who should be putting the tag back up there.

I agree!

I'm just glad my parking hangtag is sized so that it doesn't hang below the rearview mirror as I can't stand it when there are things hanging there. If it did I'd always be taking it off and forgetting to put it back up!

My DH is very sensitive to things blocking the windshield - he hates it when I'm in the passenger's seat and use my sun visor. When the sun goes down/we turn he'll immediately ask me if I'd put it up, please. He once reached over to do it without asking me, but he's never made that mistake again.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Feel better, Calli.

vw, I hope this time the ER treatment takes on a more long term basis.

I don't have a problem with sun visors, and often have both down when I'm driving with no one else in the car because I have sensitive eyes, I don't like things dangling from the mirror. The motion is what bothers me (especially if I'm a passenger blurgh).

I am really not looking forward to going to work today. I feel a lot better than I did last week, but I'm still having joint pain, and feeling wiped out. The thing that I am really not looking forward to is training in a new guy. He seemed perfectly ok when I met him briefly a couple weeks ago. But bosslady, who is a smoker, tells me he is the kind of smoker that even smokers hate: he flicks his ashes all over rather than into an ash tray. Now I'm wondering how well "disrespectful smoker" correlates to "man who cannot accept direction/correction from woman".

Sorry, I didn't mean to kill the thread with my doom and gloom.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just had a guy from my old office ping me, out of the blue, on our interoffice IM to say hi and chit-chat. This is not someone I ever really chit-chatted with face to face. WTF.

It wasn't like he started with chit-chat and then had an actual work question, it was just a social "how is your new job, are you enjoying Denver" type thing.

Andi, my experience has shown that a jerk is a jerk is a jerk. Expect the worst from this guy- maybe you will be surprised! And at the very least you may steel yourself enough so his potential jerkiness doesn't flatten you. Maybe he's just dreamy and absentminded?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

But the lovely people reading my WIP are only just now realising that in spite of the funny bits and the shagging and the Big Gay Love, I may just possibly subscribe to the Tim Minear school of happy fluffy good times, when it comes to narrative.

yes, yes you are. Only difference is that as soon as the situation began, you knew what was going to happen, as opposed to it being sprung on you (Joss I'm looking at you re: Wash impalement in Serenity!!)

Now I'm wondering how well "disrespectful smoker" correlates to "man who cannot accept direction/correction from woman".

disrespectful smoker probably correlates to disrespectful person in general.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok. I've called the salon and I am going in on Saturday morning. This is the picture I am taking with me: [link]
